Pennsylvania joins the Social Work Licensure Compact to facilitate multistate practice for social workers.

The bill authorizes Pennsylvania to join the Social Work Licensure Compact, which aims to increase access to social work services by allowing social workers to practice across multiple states. The compact establishes a multistate license system, overseen by a commission, to streamline the licensing process and facilitate the exchange of disciplinary information among member states. Social workers holding a multistate license can practice in any member state, subject to that state's laws and regulations.
